When will the newspaper be on sale in shops d'ya reckon?

I don't know if it's still the same these days, but you used to be able to pick up first editions in certain central london locations (especially railway stations) from about 9-10pm the night before.

Libertines are big only in a very, very narrow genre and based largely on mystique (not the ladies). They are not big enough to headline Glasto. The reason they are headlining so many festivals is because there are so few original bookings available of the required stature. For now, Libertines will fit that bill as they command curiosity about their back story. But as a band, they certainly are not big enough to headline Glastonbury (that doesn't mean they won't because the headliner problem is affected all festivals). They wouldn't get a huge crowd, and if they did the crowd would dwindle.

A far better way of saying what I said

Chances are if they get it right, the festival will confirm it shortly after right? Much as with the previous lineup leaks... Or am I being too optimistic?

This may be completely clutching at straws and going stir crazy in here buuuut....

The original Tweeter was asked for a clue, and a few minutes later posted "#lauraallensalmonds" which appears to be a completely nonsensical Tweet - can't find any other hashtags or references to that at all. Any chance of a clue in there somewhere, an anagram maybe? Or is the guy just nuts...

Edit: Or am I just nuts? (likely)

Is he suggesting placebo?!? Surely not

No totally misread that.

Ye I'm an idiot

Or have I? Why did he mention placebo?

The Placebo comment was someone else's reply to his original Tweet, which he then retweeted.

My guess is he's a Placebo fan maybe?

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
